That's an easy one: because most demonstrators don't want to die in a barrage of police gunfire.

I can't argue with the reasons given for choosing the SKS over the Hi Point for the purpose mentioned. However, I do wonder about two claims I've seen stated here: 1) Hi Point Carbine 9mm recoil/slap? In my experience this is absolutely not the case. The 995 seems fairly gentle to me...

That's ridiculous. If he was legally entitled to receive free tuition as a direct consequence of serving in Iraq, then that should be honored. However, he sounds rather arrogant IMO. I agree. The general idea of giving specific groups taxpayer-funded tuition breaks is bad enough, but...

Senator McCain's staffer doesn't know how to spell.

From the FSP FAQ: "...the Free State Project's purpose is simply to get 20,000 classical liberals and libertarians into a single state of the U.S. What happens next is up to those 20,000." Note the bold part. This man's actions were his own. His protest was not endorsed by the FSP. The...

My only real complaint about this poster is the number: 200 million. Where did you get that number? Unless my memory fails me, the sources I'm familiar with (especially Innocents Betrayed) usually talk about numbers "up to 100 million."

While it's true that Smith's idealism makes libertarian-minded folk feel puffed up with righteous indignation -- myself included -- I don't believe his path will bring any meaningful results in the real world. A would-be libertarian co-worker of mine told me this after reading a Smith...

Perhaps, but did you listen to the 911 call? The dead cop's sister described him as 250-300 pounds. By the sound of his voice on the tape, he was apparently out of his mind in a blind/drunken rage, having already hit and choked his wife, and later going after his own sister. If the brother in...

I take it the shooter was the brother of the woman being assaulted? The article is a little sparse on details, but it seems to me that a man probably stopped his sister from getting killed by an out-of-control drunken husband. It was apparently a serious enough assault to have called the...

I see. I think MD may work similarly -- the state police do their own background investigation at the time of the purchase, and I suppose the serial number is recorded and "registered" to the purchaser in some police database.

That's exactly what jumped out at me when I read this. Does the senator not even know what a right is? It sounds like he doesn't to me. His usage of the word makes it meaningless.

Are handguns 'registered' in PA? Perhaps it's because Regola has a CHP, and lists this particular handgun on the permit? Maybe a PA person can fill me in on how this works.

The only feedback I can offer is...congratulations on your new job, and all the opportunities it may offer you. Make the most of it, and if that involves buying a new gun, all the better. :) As to which gun you should get, I don't know. It sounds like you might have to reckon with the...

I voted for loosening of transportation laws. I'd prefer CCW, of course, but I think it's too far fetched at this point. Is there an echo in here? :)

This isn't a very useful argument IMO. What if your counterpart in this debate proceeded to offer several valid reasons why violent crime in DC may be more widespread than in VA, despite the tougher gun laws -- more poverty, higher population density, and a thriving illegal drug trade? Would...

The NPR crew just read the entire DOI over the air a moment ago. Kind of gave me the willies listening to a handful of (in my opinion) anti-American socialist trolls reading that sacred text. Having replaced King George III with a more local tyranny, they're perfectly satisfied.

The Lion King? :D

I believe you misunderstood his words, 180 degrees. He's chastising the republicans for taking Jefferson's side.

The cnn.com article this morning refers to the teachings of the Seas of David as a "blend of Islam and Christianity."

You can get a letter from the AG if you like -- and I understand why that approach was recommended. But the law reads pretty clearly in this case (at least to me), that you are explicitly not to be prevented from carrying on your property. Might want to print that section of the code out and...
